Here’s a set of the bright teacher appreciation memo pad covers & pages…..

And here’s a set of the dark covers & pages…great for the male teachers!

Now you will need to stack your pages together for each pad, making sure the top edge is even…really check this! (I stacked my pad like this: one of the Keep Calm Covers, 40 sheets of memo pages, topped with another Keep Calm Cover).

Now, to protect your covers from any padding compound spillage, I placed a piece of paper on top of each of the memo pads. Now secure the sides of the top of your memo pad with binder clips. You want them as close to the top as possible to really “smoosh” down your top edge. Be careful to make sure the edge is still nice and even.

Now it’s time to apply the padding compound (adhesive). Just use a brush to apply a thin film. (If you have made the same recipe of padding compound I did, and it has solidified, just warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften). Once you apply your first thin film, place a 5th binder clip on the top to secure the sheets together. Wait about 5 minutes, remove the 5th clip, apply another coat of padding compound, and replace the 5th clip. Repeat one more time for a total of 3 coats of padding compound. Let your pads dry for about at least an hour.

Once the adhesive is dry, remove the binder clips and peel off the “protective” piece of paper.

Look, you have fun Teacher Appreciation Memo Pads!

And each of the memo sheets has a reminder for that favorite teacher to keep calm.
